Opinion

No. 05-03-00777-CR

November 26, 2003. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.

On Appeal from the 366th Judicial, District Court Collin County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 366-81156-02.

Before Justices MORRIS, WRIGHT, and RICHTER.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


In this case, a jury convicted Eddie Louis Venson, Jr. of aggravated robbery. Sentence of eight years imprisonment was imposed in open court on April 25, 2003. No motion for new trial was filed; thus, appellant's notice of appeal was due by Tuesday, May 27, 2003. See Tex.R.App.P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until May 28, 2003, and did not file an extension motion in this Court within the fifteen-day period provided by rule 26.3. See Tex.R.App.P. 26.3(b). Therefore, appellant's May 28, 2003 notice of appeal is untimely, leaving us without jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
